I am watching: This week the season finale of four of the shows I watch will be on and I'm nervous about two of them. Oh, how we let TV rule our emotions. And Vampire Diaries this last week? Oh my gosh!

I am thinking: I've been go, go, going all week and I hurt my hip and back and I need to freaking relax and let them recover.

I am grateful for: Hindsight.

I am reading: Still reading Forever by Pete Hamill. Good heavens, I need to finish this one! It's gotten a little slower in the middle and I'm struggling.

I am photographing: My garden that I planted this week and sending pics to my mom and sister so they can smile and nod and act interested.

I am listing: Unfortunately, bad qualities I see in myself so hopefully I can work on them! Grrrr!

I am creating: My garden. Well, it is a creation right?!

Around the house: I'm finding ants and I don't know where they're coming from. So annoying!

From the kitchen: My diet is very restrictive and it makes eating very boring and routine. Sigh! I need some new recipes that will adhere to my diet.

One of my favorite things: The feeling of accomplishment. (even if my back and hip ARE killing me!)

The children this week: No kids, just my cat Buns; we're going to work on getting her to come outside with me this week! Yes, that's a threat.

Plans for the week: Now that the gardens are planted I'm really going to buckle down and read, dang it!

On this date: It's my sister's Birthday. I called and chatted with her for a while. I hope she has a good evening. (yes, I'm writing this on Saturday night, remember?)

Suey, The diet thing, yeah basically it will always be restrictive, but one day I'll be able to eat a lot more carbs than I do now.

I have a very long flower garden that unfortunately faces north but I've planted some pretty shade plants and can't wait for them to get big and fluffy. Also, I have a little garden that gets more sun that I've planted radishes and cucumbers in.
